As we were planning the 2018 Reunion, we asked everyone on our Facebook group what were their favorite songs from CHS days. Here’s a playlist that Julie came up with. We’ll ask for more input in time for the next reunion.
Julie’s comments on this playlist encompassing music from our senior year 1977-1978.
“Besides your input given on favorite artists, I tried to make sure there was a blend of music styles that covered our era: rock (of course!), R&B, country, blues, jazz, new wave, and disco. Plus some songs that distinguished that moment in time. For few artists who I think have had especially lasting impact (and/or many “votes”), I may have included multiple songs for them. If you see a touch of personal bias below as well, then I plead guilty! YLWV (Your list would vary.)”
